My name is Halee Woltemath and I recently participated in the 2012 Junior Beef Market Show at the National Western Stock Show. I took my Market Heifer “Lucy” and my Prospect Steer “Dexter.” I was fortunate enough to win Grand Champion Market Heifer with Lucy and took a 5th place in class with Dexter. After I finished showing Lucy, I immediately had to attend a meeting with the Beef Superintendent and had to take a quiz about all things related to the Beef Industry. The next day I had to present a 2 minute speech and was interviewed by 3 judges. That night I had to prepare Lucy for the sale. I was fortunate enough to sell Lucy to buyers out of Parker, Colorado. I would like to thank Marc Weber for selling us Lucy and for clipping her, Rick Haynes/North East Feeds for supplying all of my feed, my Grandpa and Grandma Danny and Cookie Dickinson and especially to my father, Danny Woltemath. I couldn't do any of this without him and finally the support from the rest of my family and friends. This really was a fantastic experience to have with my animals and also with my family and friends.
